Wednesday, September 20th, 2006 is Japan Dolphin Day, an ”international day of protest...to urge the Japanese authorities to ban the slaughter of dolphins.”
Every year, Japanese fisherman round up dolphins by the thousands and brutally slaughter them - with permission from Tokyo. The Save Taiji Dolphins Campaign is calling for peaceful protests in front of Japanese embassies around the world in an effort to stop the killing.
